Avi Kivity 4c0960c0c4 kvm: Simplify cpu_synchronize_state()
cpu_synchronize_state() is a little unreadable since the 'modified'
argument isn't self-explanatory.  Simplify it by making it always
synchronize the kernel state into qemu, and automatically flush the
registers back to the kernel if they've been synchronized on this
exit.

Glauber Costa 6f725c139a provide tests for pit in kernel and irqchip in kernel
KVM can have an in-kernel pit or irqchip. While we don't implement it
yet, having a way for test for it (that always returns zero) will allow us
to reuse code in qemu-kvm that tests for it.

Jan Kiszka 8d2ba1fb9c kvm: Rework VCPU synchronization
During startup and after reset we have to synchronize user space to the
in-kernel KVM state. Namely, we need to transfer the VCPU registers when
they change due to VCPU as well as APIC reset.

This patch refactors the required hooks so that kvm_init_vcpu registers
its own per-VCPU reset handler and adds a cpu_synchronize_state to the
APIC reset. That way we no longer depend on the new reset order (and can
drop this disliked interface again) and we can even drop a KVM hook in
main().

Jan Kiszka f8d926e9cd kvm: x86: Save/restore KVM-specific CPU states
Save and restore all so far neglected KVM-specific CPU states. Handling
the TSC stabilizes migration in KVM mode. The interrupt_bitmap and
mp_state are currently unused, but will become relevant for in-kernel
irqchip support. By including proper saving/restoring already, we avoid
having to increment CPU_SAVE_VERSION later on once again.

v2:
 - initialize mp_state runnable (for the boot CPU)

Avi Kivity wrote:

Done in v2:

---------->

If the KVM MMU is asynchronous (kernel does not support MMU_NOTIFIER),
we have to avoid COW for the guest memory. Otherwise we risk serious
breakage when guest pages change there physical locations due to COW
after fork. Seen when forking smbd during runtime via -smb.

aliguori d3f8d37fe2 kvm: Add sanity checks to slot management (Jan Kiszka)
Fail loudly if we run out of memory slot.

Make sure that dirty log start/stop works with consistent memory regions
by reporting invalid parameters. This reveals several inconsistencies in
the vga code, patch to fix them follows later in this series.

And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory
regions passed to kvm_set_phys_mem (KVM works on page basis).

aliguori e22a25c936 Guest debugging support for KVM (Jan Kiszka)
This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM
accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked
KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is
not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff.
So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon.

Core features are:
 - unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching
 - hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints

Changes in this version:
 - use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between
   user space and kvm
 - push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState

aliguori f5d6f51ba6 kvm: sync vcpu state during initialization (Hollis Blanchard)

own vcpu initialization. However, PowerPC KVM needs to be able to set the

aliguori f65ed4c152 KVM: Coalesced MMIO support
MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they 
involve, at least, privilege transitions.  However, MMIO write 
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side 
effects.

Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar 
mode.  As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.  
Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced 
MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

aliguori bd3220870f Add virtio-balloon support
This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver.  It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.

Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM.  It's always safe when using TCG.
